Nobara Linux is created by GloriousEggroll (person behind Proton-GE), it's based on Fedora and comes with configured WINE dependencies, installer for NVIDIA drivers... There are 3 version of Nobara: Official, GNOME, and KDE.
NOBARA 38 RELEASED!
New to Nobara: (also backported to Nobara 37 except AV1 and Davinci Resolve changes)
—————————-
/etc/profile:
– Davinci Resolve workaround: will detect if davinci resolve installer has been run from terminal, and after installation will prompt for user to run a wizard to perform additional actions. This wizard will perform the workaround required for Davinci Resolve to run (moving DR-shipped glib2 libraries to a backup folder): (https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=180116)
– payday 2 workaround: will detect if the native linux version of payday 2 is run, and if so will use the zink driver to run it, as the opengl implementation is currently broken, and the native version is no longer receiving official support.

udev rules:
– rule added so that 045e:028e “xbox 360” controller devices are forced to use the kernel xpad driver. this al
Will there ever be other Desktop Environment versions?
– No. The ‘Official’ modified GNOME release layout was designed for myself and my father out of personal preference. GNOME and KDE are additionally shipped to appease most major users, and all 3 are shipped because they support VRR — variable refresh rate (aka freesync) on wayland, which is a long term goal for gaming on linux. Other DEs at this time do not support VRR.
Will you create a minimal install disk so we can install our own DE?
– No. Our branding changes affect packages that other DEs pull in or require, and we will not be changing those packages to accommodate for DEs we don’t ship as ISOs. Additionally there are too many individual DE quirks/bugs/differences between them and we cannot support debugging all of them.
Will you create a network install?
– No. There are no plans to create a minimal and/or network install.
